The 3-day expo, which is being held at the Robinsons Galleria from September 2 to September 4, is organized by the RK Franchise Consultancy Inc..

The expo showcases almost 40 products, including food and non-food, that are up for franchising, said Ms. Sheena Kotik, RK Franchise vice president for operations.
